I have a 1/7 scale F-18 from Fly Eagle that most recently was posted in the RCU Market Place for sale. After reading a few entries to this post and seeing more flight videos of this plane, I am beginning to lean more toward assembling the plane for personal use. Just curious, did you use the pipe that came with the kit? Also, was it necessary to modify the engine area to install the P-200.

I heard that there was problem with the pipe of origin FEJ, I thus ordered other unje at US TAMJET. In the balance sheet almost the same mass +( 60g ) but especially a better quality and thus a better return. It is important considering the loss of power with the Y pipe . For the installation of P200 I moved it at most (see the photo) and I modified the wooden supports for better one . For the electronics of the engine (ECU, etc.) I installed the all component near the engine by removing one small tank.

Any updates on the new airframe or landing gear? What is the new weight of the honeycomb airframe?

See my converted Behotec C50-F with Lado's electric actuators.
I decided to convert the originally pneumatic system at my 2009 - FA18 F Fly Eagle Jet, with the electric one.
All the three legs are running at 2s Lipo (separate power supply) due to the heavy legs.
At 7,4 V the drive has no issue with the heavy weight of the legs.
Still using the pneumatic system for the gear-doors.
Sequence between gear up and closing doors is about 14 seconds - regulated by a jettronics doorsequencer.

Would someone be old enough to measure the width of the model with the stabs attached?
Secondly the length from the tailcones up to where the fuselage splits in half.

I need to decide if it would fit in my car.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Salibaj, that's quite helpful.

I'm afraid though it's missing the one which could really be the problem, the width of the model with the stabs attached.

The F-18 that I have is the new honeycomb light. The total weight dry is at around
34lb + fuel. I will install a K-180, witch puts out the same thrust (40lb). One more question. When you
lower the flaps for landing, do you have elavator mix to compensate for pitch changes? Flaps down, will the nose
pitch up or down? Thanks again, Alanjets.
